Subject: Compaq Tru64 patches for CERT VU#10277
Compaq apparently released patches for the above mentioned vulnerability
(and possibly some others) in the last day or two. I saw no mention of this
so I thought I would throw it out.
>From the CERT info on the vulnerability:
Vulnerability Note VU#10277
Various shells create temporary files insecurely when using << operator
Overview
sh uses /tmp files of a predictable name in creating files for input
redirection using the << operator.
http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/unix/security-download.html for the
patch/security information;
http://ftp.support.compaq.com/patches/.new/unix.shtml for the actual
patches.
